* ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero]]'': After Haruhi's reaction to Tsuruya's report on what she and Kyon did to disband a illegal photographic ring (which included sleeping with him and bathing together -- [[It Makes Sense in Context]]), Mikuru automatically hides behind Tsuruya. [[OC Stand In|Kanae]], noting that hiding behind Tsuruya isn't the best idea in this circumstances, decided not to follow this trope and only hide behind the table.

You are given no weapons of any kind and any time you're attacked, the only thing you can do is run and hide in the dark, usually behind crates, until the monster gets bored and leaves.

* From one standpoint, '''any''' Stealth-based game or game with a [[Stealth Based Mission]] could be seen as utilizing this. You need to hide from enemies, often by crouching in dark corners, because you can't take them on. Certain Horror-genre games will have the character give indications that they're afraid, like Amnesia listed above, or ''[[Call Of Cthulu Dark Corners Of The Earth]]''.
